Strapping Young Lad - All Hail The New Flesh Lyrics






Hey man, I'm gonna fuck this shit up
No fear, no compromise - I want it all
I will never be afraid
I'll die for what I believe

All of you assholes can stay rotting here
I do not care - I will not be there
I have got to save myself
Don't tell me there's no-one else

And all you are is all you are
I'm so sorry for you - sorry

So all hail the new flesh
'Cause it suits me fine

Just get away, you motherfuck
And we'll be back if you come
For what this means to me, you piece of shit
I'll see you pigs in hell

I want it all
I want it all, motherfucker

Strapping Young Lad All Hail The New Flesh Comments
  1. A.... M....

    Showed this to my cat. He's now a might tiger and demands new flesh.

  2. E.... J....

    Ah, the days of my better years.. this was playing too loud first day in my first apartment.. ♥️🤘🏻

  3. B.... T....

    chuck headphones on and yell this loudly in public.. its hilarious. speaking from experience.

  4. K.... ....

    I'll never forget how I was introduced to this band and Devon in general. It was during the height of the Yahoo! Chat days in 97, when chatrooms were still something people did. A canadian kid named Jordy introduced me to it along with a bunch of other super heavy shit. So PPG Jordy, PsychoPathGuy, I still thank you almost twenty five years later.

  5. G.... ....

    SEE YOU PIGS IN HELL!!

  6. R.... O....

    metallica pales in comparison.

    R.... O....

    Not really

    R.... O....

    Dumb comparison

    R.... O....

    Wow, we got ourselves a genius here.

  7. C.... ....

    This is fucking gold, wtf, where has this good heavy metal been my whole life?

  8. J.... P....

    this is the all round greatest heavy track of all time

  9. B.... ....

    HOLY FOOK.

  10. J.... Z....

    This song is so good that my wife who in general listens to Jennifer Lopez and Enrique Iglesias - blasts it in the car full volume.

  11. B.... B....

    Brutal. Epic. Masterpiece. Fact

  12. G.... ....

    I really love the fucking part at 3:17
    so fucking awesome, when they played it live they did a synchronized headbang thing and it looked so awesome
    and the fucking flute thing in the background is so chill.
    Devin is just a fucking master mind.

  13. J.... R....

    22 years 😱

  14. M.... W....

    I bought this album when it came out cause the dude at the record shop told me it was the heaviest shit he’d heard in ages. I was in my Korn/Deftones stage and thought I was heavy as fuck. It also came with a free ticket to their gig which was the next week. Took a chance, bought it then went to the gig. I shit my pants. Dev was the most insane frontman I’d ever seen. Still have the ticket... never been the same since that night...

  15. B.... S....

    I can almost visualize the veins in Devin's neck bulging. Seriously powerful voice, makes me think of Tom Angelripper

  16. J.... R....

    The only problem is there is no lead guitar work so while intense and quite a novel and in areas ground breaking!! but like all metal it needs great ax work then this would be a damned fine piece of music history!!!!

    J.... R....

    why do you need lead guitar for?

    J.... R....

    All great metal bands have great ax men!! Mind you being a metal head since the 80's I believe whole heartily that it is most needed period

    J.... R....

    @Justin Rosewarne Hevy Devy is a fucking amazing lead guitarist, you may not hear it in a lot of songs from this SYL album, but you do hear it a lot more on the self titled SYL album and "Alien"--hell, even on their last album, "The New Black," which is, imo, SYL's weakest, despite some good songs on it. And you DEFINITELY hear Devin shred a lot more on his solo work and side projects, look at Juular on "Deconstruction" or some of the stuff on the Devin Townsend Project's "Transcendence" album.

  17. T.... D....

    I am ashamed I haven't listened to Strapping earlier. Dheavy is a god.

  18. M.... M....

    All of you assholes can stay rotting here~

  19. P.... P....

    This album changed my life.

  20. F.... I....

    I thought this was a Fear Factory song for years...

  21. m.... h....

    개인적으로 장르는 다르지만 데빈 타운젠트랑 스티브 윌슨은 천재라고 생각함 1997년에 이런사운드라니 진짜 익스트림계에서 손꼽히는 천재라고 생각함 ..

    m.... h....

    공감합니다

  22. P.... _....

    i found this band last night. i am still fucking blown away at how i’ve never heard of them before. like wtf how are they not as big like Lamb of God or something. these guys are fucking brutal

  23. U.... ....

    Master Of Puppets .........CITY....

  24. M.... C....

    The 14 dislikes are the ones who didn't hail the new flesh.

  25. U.... ....

    Take off the fuckin intro ya cunts

  26. R.... F....

    My neck is broken now

  27. B.... C....

    I like this song a lot, and I mean a lot but it drives me crazy that no one mentions that is almost a rip off from Fear Factorys self bias resistor and some other song from Demanufacture that I cant think of now.

    B.... C....

    Honestly dude I've never listened to Fear Factory before and I can see how you can draw that comparison. There is a similar change in cadence, tempo, and feel. Both stand out as very unique though. Rip off might be a stretch lol.

    B.... C....

    Devin Townsend has said that Fear Factory was a major influence for a lot of their work on Strapping Young Lad.

    B.... C....

    Actually, there is a very similar riff on this song at 2:56 comparing it with Godflesh - I wasn't born to follow at 1:15
    (another major influence on Devin Townsend).

    B.... C....

    Fair comment - I can hear some similarities between the two songs (both of which I adore). But it's specific sections of All Hall that sound like SBR rather than the whole thing, I'd say. Some overlaps - but not a rip-off.

    B.... C....

    It's kinda funny that Byron Stroud and Gene Hoglan would both go on to join Fear Factory.

  28. l.... ....

    i remember how outstanding this sound was when this came out more than 20 years ago. And still is! Volume up

    l.... ....

    It’s insane, their whole discography sounds like it could come out today and fit in perfectly with the rest of modern metal. Way ahead of its time

  29. A.... ....

    I'm the number 500 :D/

  30. A.... S....

    All Hail The New Flesh is quite possibly the only metal song you'll need to hear before you die, it's THAT good. After 15 years since I first heard it I'm still trying to become The New Flesh Devin was talking about

    A.... S....

    Every passing second IS the new flesh

  31. G.... P....

    The most epic & monster metal song ever men. lml

  32. A.... ....

    Eargasm

  33. S.... ....

    I really like that Gene plays so much triplets in this song, like triplet-fills as well as fast triplet double bass parts. This gives that song a very unique and heavy style!

  34. K.... L....

    Delightfully violent album.

  35. A.... S....

    I love the fact that one the greatest metal songs ever written is so obscure, makes it even more special

    A.... S....

    Agreed.

  36. s.... w....

    top 10 greatest heavy metal anthems of all time, and would be somewhere in my top 5 personally

    s.... w....

    Aren't you an admin of the SYL Facebook group?

  37. V.... ....

    AND ALL YOU ARE IS ALL YOU ARE

  38. I.... P....

    HELP! Who can understand background words/quote from 4-05 to 4-20??? Nobody nows that? And where this quote was taken from?

    I.... P....

    The end sounds like ".......a whole body of water will swell upon Earth" - So maybe it's a quote from The Holy Bible and Noah's ark? It makes sense, what do you think of it? OR the actual song title itself, "All hail the new flesh," is a direct quote from a film from the 80s called "Videodrome," starring James Woods and Debbie Harris (aka, 'Blondie,' the frontwoman from Blondie). Maybe it’s quote from that movie? Who can help?

    I.... P....

    I think I've got it. I thought the start sounded like "Portentous earthquakes and floods", and looking around online for that phrase turned up a translation of Timaeus, one of Plato's dialogues, where he was talking about Atlantis. Seems like they included a sample of someone reading it aloud.

    Full quote, with the relevant section in brackets, is "But at a later time there occurred [portentous earthquakes and floods, and one grievous day and night befell them, when the whole body of your warriors was swallowed up by the earth,] and the island of Atlantis in like manner was swallowed up by the sea and vanished; wherefore also the ocean at that spot has now become impassable and unsearchable, being blocked up by the shoal mud which the island created as it settled down."

    I.... P....

    Maddbox11235 Man, thanks so much for the clarification! I always loved that part in the song, it‘s so epic and as a non-native english speaker I always wondered what the spoken voice exactly said. Thanks a lot!

    I.... P....

    @Maddbox11235 I've been looking for all the samples from this album. This is great! Just have to find that recording now...

    I.... P....

    @Dusty Digits If it helps your search, that's not the standard translation. It's been like a year, but I remember when I looked that up, there was one translation of Timaeus that was everywhere and did not contain that specific wording, and another translation that only popped up a few times that did contain that specific wording. The joys of trying to translate poetry, I suppose. Decisions must be made to balance literal meaning, metaphorical meaning, and poetic meter.

  39. M.... ....

    Holy fuck... This is just as powerful as it will ever get 2:27 ... Anybody knows anything else that "headbanging"?

    M.... ....

    Man atee the start of oh my fucking God when that first scream kicks in

    M.... ....

    Absolutely.

  40. B.... P....

    I blew my voice out trying to sing the chorus around the house....It hurt....!

    B.... P....

    if it hurt, don't do this, you'll ruin your voice, such fry screams are very dangerous.

  41. M.... A....

    The best shit Devin Townsend has ever written! SYL for life!

  42. W.... 0....

    best song on city!

    W.... 0....

    Einjahar 01 *best song in the world

  43. P.... S....

    SYL is is most the
    underrated band of the 90's.

    No. Scratch that. Most underrated modern band, period.

    P.... S....

    King's X is the most underrated band ever.

    P.... S....

    SYL toured festivals, the really under appreciated bands dont even gig anymore cos they didnt sell gigs.

  44. g.... ....

    With a name like "All Hail the New Flesh", you knows it's gonna be metal as fuck.

  45. b.... ....

    now THIS is how you do clean vocals in a metal song! Take notes you freaking Metalcore pussies!

    b.... ....

    *raises hand.*

    b.... ....

    I can do it, it's not that difficult. To name some bigger names: Joe Duplantier from Gojira, the guy from Scarve. Also check out Nero di marte, but his style is darker

    b.... ....

    Stoned God mate, we know other metal vocalists who can scream, it's not hard. But none of them even touch Dev. His range, his power, his rasp, not to mention his clean singing. Don't try to tell me for a minute Joe could sing Thalamus, or even this song

    b.... ....

    Stoned God, I have a 4 octave vocal range and I can't touch half of the stuff Devy does. Sure I can hit 90% of his notes, but he is something amazing. I swear his vocal cords are coated in titanium. Big difference between being able to do it and being able to do it with the control that Devy has. That's what makes it difficult imo.

    b.... ....

    Devin is like.... The freddy mercury of metal.

  46. D.... T....

    I'm raping the replay button

  47. R.... R....

    0 thumbs down. that is empirical evidence sirs, this is the only SCIENTIFICALLY proven "flawless" metal song ever recorded.

    R.... R....

    Roy Rodgers McFreely it has two now though.

    R.... R....

    Roy Rodgers McFreely 12 fuckers that died shortly after

    R.... R....

    I feel like anyone who would thumbs down this has no business being here in the first place

  48. H.... N....

    Oh fuck YEAH!!!! Heavy Devy at his finest!!

  49. I.... P....

    HELP! Who knows the words of 0-48 sec.? I checked out all Internet and didn’t find it. PLEASE, write the lyrics here! Am I the only person who cares about it? It sounds like "Fuck at you" or "Look at you" or what???

    I.... P....

    +Ivan Petrow Pretty sure he says "Fuck yourselves"

    I.... P....

    +Long Dong Never Die Makes sense. Good way to set the stage for the album's incoming apocalypse. XD

    I.... P....

    Bro, HELP again! Can you understand background words/quote from 4-05 to 4-20? What can you hear?

    I.... P....

    The end sounds like ".......a whole body of water will swell upon Earth" - So maybe it's a quote from The Holy Bible and Noah's ark? It makes sense, what do you think of it? OR the actual song title itself, "All hail the new flesh," is a direct quote from a film from the 80s called "Videodrome," starring James Woods and Debbie Harris (aka, 'Blondie,' the frontwoman from Blondie). Maybe it’s quote from that movie? Who can help?

  50. T.... M....

    T.... M....

    I'd give this song 9.5/10. Wonga!
